Abstract excerpt
Ruminants have the ability to digest human-inedible plant materials, due to the symbiotic relationship with the rumen microbiota. Rumen microbes supply short chain fatty acids, amino acids, and vitamins to dairy cows that are used for maintenance, growth, and lactation functions. The main goal of this study was to investigate gene-microbiome networks underlying feed efficiency traits by integrating genotypic,...
